A managed Layer 3 PoE+ switch with eight 2.5 GbE access ports and two 10G SFP+ uplinks, sized for a comms room shelf or network cabinet serving a small site.
Why this one
- Eight 2.5 GbE PoE+ ports mean each access port can feed a Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 access point at full link speed — no bottleneck at the port where the AP connects.
- Two 10G SFP+ uplink ports let you aggregate to a core switch or gateway without the uplink becoming the choke point as traffic grows.
- Layer 3 management means inter-VLAN routing can run on the switch itself, which matters when you're segmenting IoT, guest and staff traffic without adding a dedicated router hop.
- Eight ports keeps it compact — right-sized for a single floor or a small building where a larger switch would sit mostly empty.
Good fit if you're deploying several Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 access points from a single closet and want each one on a 2.5 GbE link with PoE+ power and managed VLAN control.
Worth considering something else if you need more than eight access ports — the USW-ENT-24-POE carries the same 2.5 GbE and PoE+ spec across more ports and suits larger floors or buildings.
What you'll also need
A UniFi gateway or Cloud Gateway to adopt the switch into UniFi Network, SFP+ DAC cables or transceivers for the uplink ports, and Cat5e or better to each access point or device.
